This bitter sweet two-hander comedy is set in a pub in the north of England. It centres around a landlord and landlady who present an outward appearance of marital harmony whilst secretly avoiding a tragedy that threatens to destroy their relationship completely. This theme is echoed by their customers who battle with the same conflict between public facade and private conflict. This is both a hilarious and moving play, guaranteed to touch a nerve.

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
